蜜桃传媒

After the 蜜桃传媒 took action to protect a transgender teen鈥檚 rights, the La Feria Independent School District in Texas has agreed to allow his tuxedo photo to appear in the yearbook along with the other students in his class.

The decision came two days after the 蜜桃传媒 demanded the school district allow Jeydon Loredo, a transgender student and senior at La Feria High School, to appear in his high school yearbook wearing a tuxedo or risk a federal lawsuit against the school district. Before today's decision, Jeydon had been told the photo would not appear in the yearbook due to 鈥渃ommunity standards.鈥�

鈥淲e are very pleased that the school district has recognized Jeydon for who he is 鈥� and treated him with the respect he deserves,鈥� said Alesdair Ittelson, an 蜜桃传媒 staff attorney. 鈥淭his is a signal to other school districts that transgender students should be included as important members of their communities rather than ostracized and subjected to discrimination. We applaud Jeydon鈥檚 courage in standing up for his rights.鈥�

Attorneys for the school district agreed to provide written confirmation that Jeydon鈥檚 tuxedo photo will appear in the yearbook along with the other students in his class. The district also agreed to follow its own corrective policies for cases of gender discrimination and provide training for those involved, along with a comprehensive education program for the school community. The district will also expressly include gender expression in its ant-discrimination policies.

Before this week's demand, the 蜜桃传媒 and the offered a guidance letter in an attempt to address this situation.
